Play Me Some Fiddle

We were down on our luck in Houston

We were broke and we were needin' a job

We got a gig in this joint on the wrong side of town

And it was just about as rough as a cob

One night the door flew open and this dude walked in

He was as big as a mountain and as ugly as sin

It got quiet as a graveyard when he walked in

He looked like trouble with a capital T

He cleared off a whole row of barstools

Just to have him a place to sit

The bartender turned about three shades of purple

And the bouncer just up and quit

He come prowling cross the floor like a lion in a cage

Romping and stomping and shaking with rage

Well I thought I was gonna die when he walked up to the stage

He said there's something that I want you to do

He said play me some fiddle cause I love them fiddle songs

Play me some fiddle everybody can sing along

Well I'm mean and I'm ornery and I'm ready to fight

And if you want to get out of here alive tonight

You'd better play me some fiddle cause that fiddle music turns me on

Well I grabed up my fiddle and started sawing like never before

While he picked up a man with a drink in his hand

And threw him through a plate glass door

And then he grabbed up this dude and swung him round by the hair

He ripped up the tables and tore up the chairs

It took fifteen cops to get that fool out of there

And I heard him as they went through the door

Play me some fiddle cause I love that fiddle sound

Play me some fiddle play some fiddle and we'll all get down

I know I'm in trouble been a bad boy today

But just one more time before they take me away

Won't you play me some fiddle cause that fiddle music turns me on

[ fiddle

Play me some fiddle cause I love that fiddle sound

Play me some fiddle play some fiddle and we'll all get down

He said play me some fiddle cause I love them fiddle songs

Play me some fiddle cause that fiddle music turns me on
